With one interpretation of this question, the answer would be two 120V wires and a ground.
16 + 20 + 14 = 50 = 12 + 14 +14 + 10
All you have to do is turn on the car into ignition area and grab a voltage meter. Find positive first, to do this, find a good ground spot on your vehicle, such as a screw or metal, than with the red meter wire, go around til you find one that makes the volt meter go up... that is your power wire. Now, go from that wire, and check for your ground wire. Hold the positive wire onto the positive spot on your vehicle, and use the black wire to check until the meter goes up, that is your ground. Now you are done.
To find the mean (or average) you first add up the numbers you have. NOTHING 1.88

Do not use this type of cable to feed a 120/240V dryer outlet. The outlet is ungrounded, and the third conductor is neutral not ground. Your ground wire must be sheathed by code. You cannot use the bare neutral conductor as ground. Diagram Did Not Come Through. You Have a 3 Prong Connector. The Prong On The Bottom By Its Self Connect The Bare Wire. That Is What Was # 3 Connect The Others To The Two Prongs Next To Each Other. Hope This Makes Some Sense (1) (2) (3) Connect White To (1), Connect Black To (2) Bare (3) Good Luck
No, the black wire is typically associated with line 2 in a 240V line. In a 240V circuit, there are two hot wires - line 1 (black) and line 2 (red), as well as a ground wire and sometimes a neutral wire.
Yes it can be done that way. Just make sure to use a double-pole breaker to ensure each wire is on an opposite phase.
the wires coming off double pole will give you 240 volts,110 each the black and white hook to these,doesn`t matter which way,ground to ground Ground is always ground, Black and white are your two "hots." You will need a dedicated circuit, you cannot run this off existing 120V wiring. A 15A 240V circuit should be more than sufficient. If this is a permanent instalation you can use 14/2 wire as you normally would, and wire it as you normally would with the exception of the 240V breaker. If you install switches, timers, etc. Make sure they are all rated for 240V. Remember, you can't just mix-and-match between 120 and 240V. 240 appliances will not run on 120 and 120 appliances will burn up on 240.
Based on the description, it sounds like you should wire the stove outlet as a 3-prong outlet since the cable you have appears to have two hot wires and a ground wire (wire braid). Connect the two black wires to the hot terminals and the wire braid to the ground terminal on the stove outlet. Remember to ensure that the circuit is properly grounded for safety.
Your 2-wire system is actually connected to one "side" of the 3-wire system. In your utility's 3-wire system you have 2 hot wires that are attached to each end of a tranformer winding and the neutral is attached in the middle and grounded. Typically in the US this gives you 240v (or something similar) between hot leads and 120v from each hot lead to neutral or ground.
White wire is usually used as a neutral conductor and a 240v ac unit has no neutral. Each leg of the 240 volts is a "hot" leg However, very often a 12/2 or 14/2 NM cable is used to power small window ac units using 240v. In this case one of the conductors is white, but is not a neutral. It is good practice to mark the white wire with black tape so it is readily identified as a hot wire.
A GFCI can not be used on a three wire branch circuit. It has to be on a single two wire circuit.

If you do not add a junction box it looks like new wire all the way from the old junction box with new wire that is longer. It's a tough place to be.
For a typical 12-2 wire, the black wire is the "hot" wire that connects to the breaker, the white wire is the neutral wire that connects to the neutral bus bar, and the bare copper wire is the ground wire that connects to the ground bus bar in the circuit panel.
The first number indicates the size of the wires, in this case #10 AWG (American Wire Gauge). The last number refers to the quantity of conductors, excluding the ground wire, if any. 10-2 wire would have two conductors, typically a black used for the hot, and a white used for the neutral. If the label says "10-2 with ground" then the cable would also contain a bare or green insulated ground wire. 10-3 wire contains all the above plus one more wire, typically red, used for an additional hot.
